Brooke Warner will present a “What You Should Know about Hybrid Publishing” workshop for Tri-Valley Writers’ November meeting. The publishing process is mysterious to many writers. How do agents determine what’s commercial and what’s not? What if your writing is not commercial? Are there options other than commercial publishing and self-publishing? Brooke will demystify the process and explain a third option, called “hybrid publishing,” which falls in between commercial publishing and doing it all yourself. Here’s some of what attendees will learn:
-Why hybrid publishing has been called “the best of both worlds” and what about it makes it appealing to authors and self-publishers alike.
-Hybrid industry standards and why its reputation hinges on vetting and quality.
-The challenges facing hybrid publishing and authors who choose this model.
-What writers and authors need to know about this publishing space and the business model.
-Where hybrid publishing might be heading from here.
